In My Mailbox #6

In my Mailbox is a weeklymeme hosted by The Story Siren. In this feature, bloggers post about books they have recently bought/borrowed or even won them.They could include any other things that you receive in your mailbox too!

I haven't done this meme in a while because i've had a very empty and neglected mailbox. *sad face*But finally in a long time it has been loaded..okay not quite but i've got a reasonable amount..This week i got my prize pack for the Queen of Hearts Tour Game from Sasha Soren..I know i meantioned it earlier on my blog but this time its under the IMM heading!

I got badges from my friend randomly!

3 books

Three weeks with my brother by Nicholas Sparks

The Immortals of Meluha by Amish

Shadow Kiss(Vampire Academy)- Michelle Mead

And a SUPER COOL poster of Kurt Cobain!!!!:D

I heart him!

And i didn't exactly get this in my mailbox, i saw it at a restaurant and took a picture on my phone. And decided to include it in my post. I've read it before somewhere long ago.

when i read it this time, it held meaning for me, so i decided to share it!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I loved the VA series, what a winner it is :-) I'm not sure what Star World is - I assume a TV channel? but if the character Dexter is a serial killer who works as a blood splatter analyst then those books are the what the show is based on!

So Netflix does its routine deal of removing and adding
shows in order to well create space and honor contracts of course. So one of
the movies leaving Netflix, amongmany others,
on 1 Feb, 2017 will be Trainspotting and I wondered if I should watch it. I stumbled upon the link a couple of days ago and thought to
myself maybe I should get around to watching it. I decided to go for it and
here are some of my reasons: one being that a long time ago, perhaps it still
is, but Trainspotting, the book by Irvine Welsh, was on a reading list in high
school. At that time, I chose Captain Corelli's Mandolin and the Great Gatsby
over it. Literature over language the choice was during my A levels. So missed
opportunity then. Second being I tried to watch the movie but the
content was a bit too explicit for me at that time. So I switched it off. Is
it still too much for my brain? Have I not seen worse, more horrifying and
revolting things? I probably have. My definitions have changed a lot sin…

Two things I absolutely avoid in
films are excessive sexual content and gore. I managed to control both my
refluxes and reflexes for Park Chan-wook. Here is why: women protagonists, an A+
on the Bechdel test and a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The cost: a ton of explicit
language, intricate sex scenes and an abundance of gore. After a string of dark and morbid themed
plots comes a refreshing turn in his career (given his history male centered films),
‘The Handmaiden’ that released October
of this year. Adapted from Sarah Water’s novel, ‘Fingersmith’, Chan-wook’s recent film explores themes like
revenge, forbidden love, eroticism and guilt. Set in South Korea under Japanese
colonial rule, The Handmaiden is a
story of two women and one man narrating a darker than Shakespeare’s comedy of
errors. Count Fujiwara- a con man pretending to be a count to seduce Lady
Hideko, Soo-khee- a pickpocket posing as a handmaiden to Lady Hideko, with whom
she falls in love and Lady Hid…

A year ago, before I moved to the United States when someone said Fall/Autumn I always pictured people flying off, trying to hold onto umbrellas, their winter hoods and belongings as leaves swiveled around them. This picture stemmed from the illustrated textbook I used to teach children the seasons of the year in Spanish- vientoso, chaqueta, parguay- all the different words we used to describe a season. Otoño- a season that we don’t really have in India, I chuckle as I try to explain it to them using the textbook visuals. Puzzled but accepting of this new piece of information, they would nod in agreement. One of my earliest memories of Chicago was walking to the train station and I remember stopping to look up at the trees full of red, orange, yellow and brown leaves. I also remember taking millions of pictures every time I stopped, my phone gallery is proof of my fascination. I’ve been told its pumpkin season- synonymous and in sync with the season’s colors. ‘Ka-doo!’ I remember echo…

If I could be one of the them, or none of the them. Who would I be?
"Happy!", she thought as her frown turned upside down, as the dark clouds parted and like a ray of sunshine, a smile broke out on her face.
